ADHD-is a condition that generally involves symptoms of hyperactivity, attention deficit, and impaired executive function, which can affect both children and adults. People with ADHD may have problems organising and completing tasks, maintaining attention, and regulating emotions, which can affect their school or work performance, social relationships and self-esteem. It is important to understand that ADHD is not a behavioural problem, but a brain development problem and that it is important to provide support and understanding to people suffering from this disorder.
In the US, the terminology of ADD (acronym for "Attention-Deficit Disorder"). This refers to the subtype of the condition in which hyperactivity is not present (the inattentive type), but in most countries both forms fall (slightly confusingly) under the same umbrella of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperkinetic Disorder). This is the official abbreviation used in Romania.
A diagnosis of ADHD valid can only be offered by a doctor psychiatrist or neurologist. This diagnosis should be made following a comprehensive assessment, which may include elements such as history interviews, questionnaires, executive function testing, observations of behaviour in different contexts and especially in the case of children, testimonies from parents, teachers or other close relatives. It may also be necessary to carry out psychological tests and medical examinations to rule out other possible causes of symptoms. It is important that the diagnosis of ADHD be determined by a medical specialist and followed by an appropriate therapeutic plan. Psychodiagnosis by the psychologist NO has medical value, it is more of a risk assessment.
Psychologists can help develop an appropriate behavioral therapy program so that the person learns how to overcome certain obstacles and manage their symptoms of ADHD. Psychologists can also provide emotional support and counseling to help the person cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other symptoms and affective states that may be associated with ADHD.
However, as it is a neurodevelopmental disorder, the diagnosis requires the expertise of an psychiatrist. Also, in most cases, drug treatment is necessary, psychiatrist being the one who can prescribe it. At the same time, only a psychiatrist has the expertise to determine the presence/absence of comorbidities following a differential diagnosis.
Although clinical psychologists can assist in the diagnostic process by interpreting some of the findings, their psycho-diagnosis NO has medical value!
